Manually creating and populating a licensed software via software inventory

A licensed software can also be populated via the software inventory instead of using the Software Catalog. For this example we create a licensed software for Microsoft Office 2010 again that is populated manually with the respective applications.

1. Select the Wizards > Application Management menu item or launch it directly from the dashboard.
2. In the Introduction window select the Configure a Licensed Software radio button.
3. Click Next .
4. In the Licensed Software window enter Microsoft Office 2010 into the Name and Office Applications into the Category field.
5. From the Evaluation Type drop-down list select the Scanned Applications option.
6. Click Next .
7. In the License Units - Queries - Applications window click the Add from Software Inventory icon.To find the applications being part of Microsoft Office enter all or part of their name into the Value field, e.g. Excel and the click Find .
8. Repeat points 1 - 3 for all other applications that are part of your Microsoft Office license, e.g. Word, Publisher, FrontPage, and so on.
9. Click Next .
10. In the Licenses window click Add License and enter all the necessary information of your license in the respective boxes.
11. Click Next .
12. In the Assigned Devices window click Add Device Group on top of the list field.
13. Select the group containing your target devices from the list.
14. Click OK .
